STEP 1 - GETTING STARTED OVERVIEW
Before you begin, check the accompanying diagram to make sure you have all the parts you
need. You’ll need to make sure the surface you intend to install your hardware is sturdy enough
to accommodate the brackets. If you’re screwing directly into a surface this means locating
wood studs that are strong enough to securely bond with the included screws. Otherwise,
you’ll need to use a secure fastener (as illustrated) but please note this piece is not included.
Tools & Parts Ceiling Mount Single Rod Set
WALLBOARD OR PLASTER:
Hollow wall applications: Use a secure fastener designed
specically for this purpose.
METAL:
Prepare by pre-drilling holes and then using the included screws.
CONCRETE, STONE, BRICK OR TILE:
Use a masonry drill and surface-specic plugs, anchors, or screws. When selecting a fastener
be sure it’s designed to support the weight of the product being installed (if you’re not sure,
either give us a call or ask a professional at your local hardware store). Once obtained, follow
the fastener manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper installation.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL YOUR HARDWARE:
Pencil, screwdriver, ¼" nut driver, level, and a drill with a 7⁄64" drill bit.
Note: It’s important to monitor the amount of pressure you apply when using a drill. If the
screws are too tight this may cause the screw itself to break off in the wall or window frame.

Mounting the Brackets
1. Place the panel on the rod. Hold it
up to the spot you wish to install it
making sure there is enough spac-
ing from wall to where the back of
drapery will hit. Usually about 2”
away from wall or window. After
you’ve located the ideal location,
use a pencil to mark the ceiling
where the back of the rod is resting.
2. Remove the panel from the rod
and then center the rod over the
window opening at the desired
spot. Using the pencil, mark where
the ends of each rod are posi-
tioned; if you’re using a center
bracket, note the middle point
between these two spots. If you
have more than one center brack-
et spread these evenly between
the two end brackets and center
point. If you have a spliced rod,
mark where that splice is on the
wall since you will need to add the
special splice bracket at that point.
Measure 6” inward from the marks
you’ve made on both ends and
mark those spots. This is where the
end brackets will be installed.
STEP 2 - MARKING BRACKET PLACEMENT STEP 3 - ATTACHING THE ROD CONNECTOR
CENTER
Depending on your order, you may
have received a rod connector.
A rod connector is the short piece of
metal placed inside each end of the
rods in a multi-segment system to
join them together.
Join track sections together and
fasten securely with set screws.
Attach the splice cover.

Adding or Removing Carriers
to the Rod
Your track rod will come with all master
carriers and regular carriers pre-installed.
If you need to add or take out some
carriers depending on your drapery,
unscrew the End Cap from the rod.
Remove the carrier & end stop and either
add or take out the carriers needed.
Placing End Stop on the Rod
SPLIT DRAPERY (A)
Once all carriers have been placed in the
track, for split drapery, place end stop in
between the rst carrier from each end
and the second carrier so end of drape
does not move when drape is closed.
ONE WAY DRAW DRAPERY (B)
For one way draw drapery, place end
stop in between the first carrier from
the end and the second carrier of the
side you won’t be opening it from, so
the end of drape does not move when
drape is closed.
Place another end stop right before the
beginning of the end cap to prevent
master carrier from moving all the way
to the end.
STEP 4 - ADDING OR REMOVING CARRIERS STEP 5 - ATTACHING THE BRACKET TO THE ROD
Insert the ceiling brackets into the
channel in the back of the track.
Do not tighten at this time.
If your rod was spliced, attach the
center spliced bracket by taking off the
little metal plate and screwing it in the
middle hole of the splice connector.

Slide in End Cap onto rod and tighten
set screw.
End Cap can be attached with the
opening at the bottom or top depend-
ing on look you want to achieve.
If you want to get your drapery all the
way to the end of the rod, then place
opening of end cap at the bottom of
rod where track is.
If you want your draperies to stop
where the end cap starts, move the
open side of the end cap to the top of
track. The covered part of end cap will
be at the bottom where track is.

Hold the rod up and attach the bracket to
the ceiling, aligning the holes of the brack-
et with the marks you made on ceiling on
a previous step.
Be sure and attach the bracket to the
ceiling with the appropriate mounting
hardware.
(It is always recommended to try and
attach to the ceiling joists found inside
ceiling. Where this is not possible please
use an anchor suitable to carry the weight
of your hardware selection as well as your
draperies and any accessories.)
Tighten the hex screw on the back of the
ceiling bracket to make sure the rod is
attached strongly to the bracket.
